Open Shortest Path First (OSPF)
Open Shortest Path First protocol bases its path descriptions on “link states” that take into account
additional network information. OSPF also lets the user assign cost metrics to a given host router
so that some paths are given preference. For information on how to select OSPF as your routing
protocol, see “Configuring OSPF Parameters on a network interface” on page 583.
The implementation of OSPF on BCM is designed to operate as an edge router in an OSPF
intranet, or as a backup router in a small network. Do not configure BCM for multiple OSPF areas.
IP routing protocol precedence
The following table shows the BCM IP routing protocols and the precedence order when
conflicting or redundant routes occur.
Configuring IP Routing global settings
The following describes how to configure global settings for IP Routing.
It also includes information about:
• “Configuring RIP parameters on a network interface”
• “Configuring OSPF Parameters on a network interface” on page 583
To configure global settings for IP Routing
1 Click Configuration > Data Services > Router.
The Router panel appears. See Figure 183.
2 Configure the Global Settings. Refer to the information in Table 137.
Note: BCM is an edge router and will not act as a router spanning RIP and OSPF routing
networks (RIP or OSPF redistribution).
